Series 50 – Section 1.30 Jake Brake

Section 1.30
Jake Brake

The engine brake has been designed to fit on the Series 50 engine with no additional valve cover spacers. There are three styles of valve covers for the Series 50 engine. On engines equipped with a two-piece aluminum valve cover, it is NOT necessary to remove the lower valve cover to install the engine brake. However, one style of upper valve cover may require modification at the breather housing location (inside) for engine brake clearance.‪

The model, part number and serial number are located on the nameplates at the top of each housing. See Figure "Nameplate Location on Housing" .‪

Figure 2. Jake Brake Schematic

The blowdown of compressed air to atmospheric pressure prevents the return of energy to the engine piston on the expansion stroke, the effect being a net energy loss, since the work done in compressing the cylinder charge is not returned during the expansion process.‪

Exhaust blowdown occurs as the energized solenoid valve permits engine lube oil to flow under pressure through the control valve to both the master piston and the slave piston. ‪

See Figure "Jake Brake Schematic" .‪

Oil pressure causes the master piston to move down, coming to rest on the injector rocker ‪

arm roller.‪

The injector rocker arm begins its travel as in the normal injection cycle, moving the master piston upward and directing high-pressure oil to the slave piston. The ball check valve in the control valve traps high-pressure oil in the master-slave piston system. ‪

High pressure oil causes the slave piston to move down, momentarily opening the exhaust valves, while the engine piston is near its top-dead-center position, releasing compressed cylinder air to the exhaust manifold.‪

At the bottom of its stroke, the slave piston separates from the valve in the slave piston adjusting screw, allowing high pressure oil to flow into the accumulator. This reduces the pressure in the high pressure circuit, permitting the slave piston to retract and the exhaust valves to close in preparation for the normal exhaust valve cycle. The oil pressure reserved in the accumulator insures that the hydraulic circuit is fully charged for the next cycle. Compressed air escapes to the atmosphere, completing a compression braking cycle.‪

The Jake Brake is electronically controlled. Jake Brake control system wiring will vary depending on the vehicle manufacturer. For a general overview of the Jake Brake, see Figure "Typical Jake Brake Assembly" .‪

Section 1.30.5
Installation of the Jake Brake

Install the Jake Brake as follows:‪

1. Adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearances and set the injector heights.

   Refer to "1.12.2 Cleaning and Removal of Crankshaft Vibration Damper" .‪

   EYE INJURY ‪
   To avoid injury from flying debris when using compressed air, wear adequate eye protection (face shield or safety goggles) and do not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) air pressure.‪

2. Attach the length of tubing to a blow gun nozzle, and blow out the oil from the bolt holes.
3. Cover the holes with hand towels to minimize oil spray.

   Note: Removing the oil from the bolt holes prevents the cylinder head from cracking when tightening the bolts.

4. Place the spacer bar on the exhaust manifold side of the cylinder head with the center notch facing the exhaust manifold. See Figure "Location of Spacer Bar" .
   

   Figure 21. Location of Spacer Bar

5. Place the two engine brake housings over the rocker shafts with the solenoid valves toward the camshaft side of the engine.

   Note: Be sure housings do not interfere with wiring harness.

   NOTICE:

   Do not mix the rocker arm shaft bolts and the Jake Brake mounting bolts. If the rocker arm shaft bolt is mistakenly used to mount the Jake Brake housing, the longer shoulder on the bolt will block the oil supply to the Jake Brake on the camshaft side of the housing. The brake will not retard the engine as designed. This condition could cause loss of vehicle braking control on downgrades, which may create a risk of personal injury to the vehicle operator or other persons and damage to the vehicle or property of others.‪

   Note: The rocker arm shaft mounting bolt and Jake Brake mounting bolt, part of the Jake Brake assembly, are similar in appearance. Both are M12 x 110 mm (4.33 in.) long and have 12 point heads.

   Note: In the event of a housing hold down bolt failure on a Jacobs engine brake housing, replace all bolts on that particular housing.

   NOTICE:
   Use bolts that have the Jacobs logo, circled "J". Installation of bolts that do not have the circled "J" may result in damage to the engine, engine brake or both.‪

   1. The Jake Brake bolt has the Jacobs logo (circled "J") and the letters "EF" marked on the head. The bolt length is no longer marked atop the bolt head.
   2. The DDC rocker arm shaft bolt has the DDC logo (spinning arrows) and the vendor I.D. (F-C) on its head.

   Note: Be sure that only Jake Brake bolts, see Figure "Jake Brake and DDC Bolt Identification" , are installed in the Jake Brake housing.

   3. [c] The DDC bolt shoulder is much longer, 17.0 mm (0.669 in.) versus 4 mm (0.157 in.) than the Jake Brake bolt. See Figure "Jake Brake and DDC Bolt Identification" .
   

   Figure 22. Jake Brake and DDC Bolt Identification

   Note: All the housing mounting bolts for models 750, 750A and 750B are the same length.

6. Install a washer on each bolt, and install into housings (three bolts per housing).
7. Move the housing from side to side. For models 750 and 750B locate the housing in the center position of the movement. For model 750A locate the housing as far towards the camshaft side of the engine as possible. See Figure "Locating Center Position of Housing" .
   

   Figure 23. Locating Center Position of Housing

8. Torque the engine brake mounting bolts using the following sequence:
   1. Torque the two bolts on the camshaft side of the engine to 55 N·m (40 lb·ft).
   2. Torque the four bolts on the exhaust manifold side of the engine to 55 N·m (40 lb·ft).
   3. Repeat the tightening sequence and re-torque all bolts to 136 N·m (100 lb·ft).
   4. Check the torque to 136 N·m (100 lb·ft).
9. Secure wire harness to spacer bars with plastic ties.
10. Connect wiring harness solenoid connectors to solenoids.

Section 1.30.5.1
Adjustment of Slave Piston

Make the following adjustment with the engine stopped and cold, and the oil temperature at 60°C (140°F) or below. The exhaust valves on the cylinder must be in the closed position (rocker arm roller on the base circle of the camshaft). When setting the engine brake lash, the exhaust valves must be in the closed position. ‪

Adjust the slave piston on all models as follows: ‪

NOTICE:
This application and adjustment information must be strictly followed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious engine or engine brake damage.‪

Note: Model 750B Jacobs engine brake requires a special procedure for adjusting the slave piston. The procedure is clearly indicated in the following adjustment steps.

NOTICE:
Improper slave piston adjustment can result in engine or brake housing damage.‪

NOTICE:
Strictly follow the slave piston adjustment procedure. Failure to use the proper adjustment procedure will result in poor engine brake performance and/or serious engine damage.‪

1. Refer to "1.30 Jake Brake" for proper slave piston clearance setting.
2. Back out the leveling screw in the slave piston assembly until the end of the screw is beneath the surface of the bridge in the slave piston assembly. See Figure "Location of Leveling Screw" .

   Note: The leveling screw is located in the bridge member of the slave piston assembly.

   

   1. Locknut‪

   2. Leveling Screw‪

   Figure 24. Location of Leveling Screw

3. Place the correct size feeler gage between the solid side of the slave piston (the side without the leveling screw) and the exhaust rocker arm adjusting screw. Refer to "1.30 Jake Brake" for proper feeler gage sizes.
4. Turn the slave piston adjusting screw clockwise until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gage. See Figure "Turn Slave Piston Adjusting Screw Clockwise" .
   

   1. Slave Piston Bridge‪	3. Feeler Gage‪
   2. Slave Piston Adjusting Screw‪	‪

   Figure 25. Turn Slave Piston Adjusting Screw Clockwise

5. Perform the following additional steps on model 750B:
   1. Turn in the J-Lash® adjusting screw until the solid side of the slave piston bridge assembly contacts the exhaust valve and the valve springs begin to compress. Turn in one additional turn.

   NOTICE:
   All oil must be purged from the J-Lash adjusting screw. Oil remaining in the J-Lash screw will cause inaccurate clearance adjustment, resulting in possible engine or engine brake damage. If oil is below room temperature (below 60°F), wait at least two minutes for oil to be purged from the J-Lash adjusting screw.‪

   Note: Wait at least 30 seconds for oil to be purged from the J-Lash adjusting screw.

   2. Back out the adjusting screw only until the correct size feeler gage can be inserted between the solid side of the slave piston bridge assembly and the exhaust valve.
   3. Adjust the J-Lash so that a light drag is felt on the feeler gage.

   Note: Do not back out the J-Lash more than required to obtain a light drag on the feeler gage.

   4. Use a screwdriver to hold the J-Lash in place, and torque the lock nut to 34 N·m (25 lb·ft).

   Note: If the J-Lash screw is backed out until it no longer compresses the slave piston spring, oil will enter the screw and the adjustment will be incorrect. If this occurs, repeat the J-Lash adjustment procedure.

   5. Recheck the lash settings. If clearance setting is incorrect, repeat the J-Lash adjustment procedure.

   Note: Once the engine brake has been run, oil enters the J-Lash screw making the engine brake adjustment unreadable. If unsure of the adjustment, repeat the J-Lash adjustment procedure.

6. Hold the screw in position, and torque the locknut to 35 N·m (26 lb·ft).
7. Check the adjustment, and repeat if necessary.

   Note: Do not disassemble the slave piston adjusting screws.

8. Place the correct feeler gage between the leveling screw and the rocker arm adjusting screw.
9. Turn the leveling screw clockwise until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gage.

   See Figure "Setting Clearance on Leveling Screw and Rocker Arm" .‪

10. Hold the leveling screw in position, and torque the locknut to 47 N·m (35 lb·ft).
11. Check adjustment, and repeat if necessary.
12. Repeat the adjustment procedures for the remaining cylinders. Refer to step 2 .

    PERSONAL INJURY ‪
    To avoid injury when working near or on an operating engine, remove loose items of clothing and jewelry. Tie back or contain long hair that could be caught in any moving part causing injury.‪

    Note: Bar over the engine when necessary to place the exhaust valves in the closed position for slave piston adjustment.

13. Install the engine rocker cover. Refer to .
14. Install all remaining components that were removed for this procedure.
15. Connect starting power for the engine.
16. Verify proper Jake Brake installation by driving the vehicle, then checking engine brake performance.
